“…This enduring advocacy acknowledges the importance of considering children's developmental stages and individual interests in their learning journey. Extensive research on early literacy consistently highlights numerous bene ts associated with its development in children (e. g., Bourke et al, 2014;Cabell et al, 2013;Hand et al, 2022;Thomas et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2015). One key bene t supported by research is the enhancement of reading and writing skills.…”

“…It is apparent that most of the sentences have been capitalized and end marks have been used, with spacing between words also being present. The child has also made use of invented spelling (Hand et al, 2022), for example, 'pikeing/piking' instead of picking, 'laet' instead of late, 'wit' instead of went and want, 'pertect' instead of protect, 'hout' instead of house, 'wok' instead of woke, and 'ent' instead of end. It is worth noting that the child used the invented word 'wit' for both went and want (Fig.…”

The current article examined the importance of hands-on writing lessons for first-grade classrooms. The author offered guidelines on differentiation strategies, explaining how resources, instructions, and activities can be modified to the needs of individual students. The author highlighted various areas of focus, such as creativity, differentiation, phonological awareness, and autonomy, using first-grade students’ writing samples. Children’s work samples were obtained from a pilot program called Developmentally Engaging Learning and Teaching Approaches (DELTA) with the goal of moving away from worksheets to hands-on learning. The information provided in this paper will be beneficial for educators teaching students from pre-K to third grade. The article ends with recommendations and implications for educators who work with young children.

“…Academics also realize the need to enhance literacy learning opportunities, and increasing young children's access to resources and learning opportunities is a joint effort involving educators, society, and families [36]. Literacy in preschool children is considered a key component in improving language development and cognitive skills [37]. Increasing the opportunities and quality of literacy for preschoolers will help children transition from kindergarten to elementary school environments with a sense of adjustment and belonging [38].…”

Global Trends in Preschool Literacy (PL) Based on Bibliometric Analysis: Progress and Prospects

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Preschool literacy (PL) is a critical period in the development of children’s literacy skills, which has a significant impact on their reading ability and academic achievement. In this context, there is a fragmentation of knowledge as PL involves different disciplines such as education, psychology, and linguistics. This is despite the existence of a large body of literature on PL. However, many studies focus on specific topics, which makes it difficult for researchers to gain a comprehensive understanding of the current status, research hotspots, and trends in PL research, leaving a knowledge gap. Therefore, this study adopts a quantitative research approach for the literature data between 1992 and 2022 for a period of thirty years. This study used arithmetic in Microsoft Excel and bibliometric visualization tools, including VOSviewer and Biblioshiny. The aim was to analyze the current situation, trends, and future development of literacy at the preschool level, providing a scientific basis for preschool practice and policy development. An analysis was performed on 1208 screened documents from the Scopus database in Excel, resulting in the identification of annual publication trends, the 20 most cited documents, the 15 most productive authors, the top 10 institutions, and the 20 countries with the highest number of publications. Visual collaborative networks and co-occurrence analysis maps via VOSviewer and Bibliometrix were also conducted. The study found that the number of research papers published on PL has shown a steadily increasing trend, that the United States is a pioneer in the field of preschool literacy and is increasingly collaborating and researching with other countries, and that international connections are growing between publications and authors. Furthermore, preschool institutions, teachers, and families have positive attitudes towards preschool literacy, as reflected in theoretical research, teaching practice, and sustainable knowledge construction. Meanwhile, the findings of this study also revealed that new PL research has been extended to emerging literacy skills, family-based literacy models, and literacy intervention models. Future researchers can benefit from this study by increasing collaborative research that can sustainably add to the body of knowledge and improving the sustainability of PL.

“…Furthermore, educational programs designed to enhance children's writing readiness skills have also been found to be effective in improving their reading readiness skills (Jones, Reutzel, & Fargo, 2010;Lust & Donica, 2011;. In a study conducted by Hand, Lonigan, and Puranik (2022), it was found that early writing skills uniquely contributed to later reading outcomes. Results indicated that preschool children's invented spelling contributed unique variance to later reading outcomes beyond the contributions of early literacy skills Numerous studies highlight the positive contributions of reading and writing skills to each other.…”

This study examined the relations between maternal education, children’s gender, writing readiness skills, and print awareness skills. Three hundred and sixteen 6-year-old children (183 girls and 133 boys) were assessed on writing readiness skills and print awareness skills. Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to determine if there were significant relationships among maternal education, children’s gender, writing readiness skills, and print awareness skills. Also, a regression analysis was performed to measure the predictive strength of the variables on print awareness skills. The results showed that while the writing readiness skills were related to children’s print awareness skills; gender and maternal education were not correlated to print awareness skills. Regression analysis indicated that writing readiness skill is a predictor of print awareness skills. Writing readiness skills accounting for approximately 8% of the variance in print awareness skills. Findings are discussed in relation to the importance of understanding the connection between maternal education, children’s gender, writing readiness skills, and print awareness skills in supporting literacy development. These findings have important implications for practitioners as they work to involve determining the predictive power of writing skills and to support children in terms of these skills.
